No display after full screen command prompt exit

[Guest Jim Ormsbee]

If I open a dos window (command prompt) and go full screen by pressing

alt-enter and then exit by typing 'exit'/enter, my display goes blank. The

same think happens if I press alt-enter a second time. After this I can

toggle using alt-enter between a full screen dos window and a blank display.

The keyboard seems to be fully functional. Knowing the keystrokes, I can

shutdown or restart windows, but I cannot seem to restore my desktop without

doing so. Also if I let the screen saver activate I seem to be in a

permanent blank screen. Any suggestions. Thank you.

Sorry. I meant to say that my OS is XP Pro SP2.
